catalytic converter scrap prices...

[LewisTaylor]

ok so im now running a decat with a 182 manifold so my cat is no good to me, so sold my cat for £80 to some randomer on ebay which i thought wasn't a bad price and someone else emailed me saying they are worth £255 scrap!? really tho? i thought they were only worth about £40-50 and it even cats on vans were only worth upto about £100? anyone know for sure?

Try a local place (Powerflow) or someone like that...they need welding experience and then they can put car on ramps, marry it up and do the rest.
